Or if not, consider me, at least. What does someone like me do? Someone that works hard for a living but doesn't have health insurance, nor can afford health insurance. I have a disease, a very very expensive disease. My medication alone costs upwards of $16,000 a year. At least 2 office visits to the neurologist a month at $250 a visit. If you're uninsured, it's next to impossible to be able to afford such ridiculous amounts of money. Unless you're already rich, in which case you can afford health coverage.

I know what you're thinking. Get a better job, make more money, find a job with benefits. Yeah well it's not that easy. I need a job that will be flexible with all these appointments. Flexible when I have to go in for IV steroids and puff up like a goddamn balloon and start having withdrawal. This job, as shitty as it is, allows me the freedom to take care of these matters.

But they have shit for healthcare.

I just realized I completely wasted 5 minutes of my time trying to appeal to your sense of decency.
